I'm putting out feelers to see if there's interest in a get together in Geneva-On-The-Lake, Ohio.

It's a resort with a carnival atmosphere, with an air of 50's nostalgia. There are a few amusement park type rides, games, and plenty of places to eat, drink, and buy souvenirs. Also hotels close by, and the Geneva Lodge, which was just built a couple of years ago.

I'd be glad to help with a get together at GOTL or there is a picnic pavillion over in the Geneva State park area that would be quite nice, plenty of parking, plenty of picnic tables plus a pavillion, and an area for horseshoes, looks like an area for a volleyball net, and available restrooms.

DesertFox, the park with the pavillions & picnic area are just a short walk from the end of the strip. It's a really nice park. Sounds like a good time!

I'm not sure if that is a state park or city park, but the park Kinghtwriter refers to is a few miles away from the strip (would be a drive if you are including the strip in your activities), but a rather nice state park.

Over by that small park there are a few small retro Motels straight out of the 1950's & '60's, believe it or not that actually was a resort area for the well to do many many moons ago! The smell of the mildew, french fries, cobwebs, redemtion games, Flea market like stores, old amusement park rides, biker bars, & wineries & such is a unique experience of yesteryear, I could not do this every weekend, but sumthing brings me up there at least once a year... it's summer! (& I get some walking excercise too!) a little sumthing for everyone

not sure where GOTL is , but just FYI..... the 2nd annual bonfire is happening on june 23 in columbus for ALL fishies!

(they still allow Open burning there?, they sorta banned that in us E-Check Counties)

Ohhh hijacked by a Columbus event Terry, ya better cancel it! GOTL is in Northwestern Ashtabula County.. about 180 miles from Columbus. (for you geographically challenged, that is the county in the Northeast corner of the state)

Thanks for the reminder countrytat, but Columbus is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive away for up in the NE corner here (even without road construction, lol). It's not *that* close by. It sounds like fun, since it's a large gathering, though I'd rather go to something a wee bit closer than that.

Let's see, about 13.4 miles to get from here to Geneva on the Lake, and about 197 to get to Columbus. Does that mean you're NOT a cool fish if you DON'T drive the 2+hours to attend the FYI 2nd annual bonfire for ALL fishies?

I have traveled as far as Washington Courthouse, Oh for a chat room party (a few times, in fact. But, that was 5 years ago. Gas costs more than double now, and my weary old bones don't like making "long" trips without good cause any more.

So, for those of you that are interested in a get together on June 23rd in Geneva-On-The-Lake, let's do it!!!.I haven't been out there yet (Had hoped for help from someone that lives closeby there....guess not). I'll go this weekend and find a good place to meet.

My thought is to get together for a picnic, or at a restaurant for lunch or dinner, then play games (putt-putt, skee=ball, etc) then meet up at one of the night clubs for drinks, dancing and ....whatever else. Have a fun day.

and the negative comment was to desert fox..if you look at ALL of his past posts on the forums he is very negative!

Negitave?? I prefer cynical myself! Now you all love to watch Dr Greg House don't you?

Tat seems to have a personal vendetta against me in the past , this's why I leave the fourms on occasion. Tat, I used to drive a lot more when I was your age, but believe it or not your vision diminishes & reflexes slow with age. Again, it's great you have your events & support groups in Columbus, but for many of you it's impractical or impossible to partake.

Weather I attend the GOTL Event or not, it's great to have a few goings on in our remote corner of the state too! Even if the interest isn't as widespread as it is in Columbus. I figured a round trip in my car to Columbus, with gas at 3.29 (I'm being generious too, it was 3.42 at my corner this morning) would cost me $53. I used to attend Amateur Radio Picnics down in Nova (Ashland County) years back, it seemed I spent a good part of the day on the road too.

Oh I did forget about road construction, that makes those long trips twice as long ... no wonder I haven't been in Columbus since 1978.

First off, some of us from Columbus DO make the drives to your neck of the woods for some events.

Secondly, she did ask where it was before some cyncial anally retentive person jumped her about it only to have some more jump on the band wagon and continue the thought process.

So my take is that unless you guys invite us you don't want us there? Tat was simply saying that some of us folks will go to these other events. That was all.

I would like to think that some of us can visit differnt POF events thru the state without needing special permission to do so. Or are you simply saying that you don't want Columbus people to visit ya also?

Next time someone offers to help ya make something work, you might wanna consider the offer before ya look down your nose and just go off for no good reason.

But my experience is that the new friends and new faces that youu get to know is WELL worth all of that. I will still be hitting Sidelines on the 9th becuase they actually enjoy having ANYONE at their events. OK, that and thebar has some killer food and I wanna meet someone who is supposed to be there. Not to mention I wanna seemy friends from last time ...

Bigfut there seems to be a Columbus area event just about every day, so scheduling around any of these would be impossible, I don't think the case is that we are excluding anyone here, & you seem to be taking it that way.

My remark about the event being 'Hijacked' was tounge & cheek humor, what is going on nearly 200 miles away shouldn't matter, & this thread don't seem to be getting that great of response here anyway, so no harm done. If Terry wants to move it it the 30th that's his call.

I'm still looking for the tounge thing personally speaking ..... wondering what it is and if its half as painful as it sounds ....

All the same I am going to pass this on to you in hopes it takes hold. If ya want to get news out, ya need to keep the thread hopping and bantering is usually the best way to increase the views and keep it fresh in the minds of people. It also helps keep it to the top of the thread page and that will help ya out also.

P SFirst part is dripping in sarcasm- just thought I would telly a so ya don't get the panties in a wad.

How can you hijack a whole community? I suggested the GOTL party after someone else suggested that it would be a good NE Ohio spot. EVERYONE is welcome to come up here to our "little corner of paradise" - just the same as everyone is welcome to go to any other public place (isn't America grand)? Personally, Columbus in construction season is just wayyyyyy to far for me. Cleveland is gonna be about 1 1/2 hours, and columbus is another hunnert miles or so.

SOOOOO, I dunno yet where we're gonna try to meet up, but I'll figger it out this weekend. Sat, June 23rd

Terry, (if 'ya don't mind :-) I might add for out-of-towners that might be coming via the freeway: route 534 has a Geneva exit on interstate 90. Going East (from Cleveland), it will be the exit after Madison, and going West (from Pennsylvania) the exit follows Ashtabula. Geneva is within about 15 to 20 miles of the Pa line.

Here's a couple G-O-T-L websites for any interested in spending the night there, or just to see what it's like entertainment wise:www.genevaonthelake.com/www.visitgenevaonthelake.com/www.genevaonthelake.net/

West (from Pennsylvania) the exit follows Ashtabula. Geneva is within about 15 to 20 miles of the Pa line.

Not to confuse anyone, It's been a year since I've been out that way, but did you ever notice that the Rt 45 exit (One exit East of the 534 Geneva exit) at I-90 is labled 'Warren' for the Westbound lane & 'Ashtabula' for the Eastbound lane? I used to take 11 into Ashtabula (they have a nice park up there too & the Sunday Car Cruises). Rt 11 is labled as 'Ashtabula' for both directions.
